Gas prices spike again BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The recent rise in gas prices has area motorists getting that sinking feeling again. The average price for a gallon of self-service unleaded in the Greensboro-High Point-Winston-Salem metropolitan area has increased 16 cents in the past week through Friday, according to AAA Carolinas. The local average is $2.56 per gallon. Still, the Triad’s average is the lowest among all metropolitan areas in the state, AAA CaroSONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE linas reports. The state Ricky West pumps fuel into his truck early one morning at average was $2.59 per gallon as of Friday. Wilco on N. Main Street.

The main reason gas prices have driven higher this month stems from international oil futures trading, with American and global economic prospects appearing to have turned upward, said Tom Crosby, vice president of communications with AAA Carolinas out of Charlotte. “As the economy looks like it’s getting better, oil speculators buy crude oil futures on the expectation that, as demand increases, they are going to be able to make profits,” Crosby said. As the prices of oil futures increase, distributors and retailers of gas-

Gasoline prices in the Greensboro-High Point-WinstonSalem metropolitan area are higher than a month ago but still lower than the same time last year. As of Friday, the average for a gallon of self-service unleaded was $2.56, up 7 percent from the $2.40 per gallon average a month ago. But the current average is 13 percent lower than the $2.94 per gallon level a year ago.

City OKs permit for new PART lot

DRUG FREE: Davidson students celebrate Red Ribbon Week. 1B

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city has given its blessing to a regional transportation project. The City Council last week approved a special-use permit for the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation that will enable the mass transit agency to establish a park-and-ride commuter lot in northwest High Point. The lot will be constructed on a 4.9-acre site at the northeast corner of N. Main Street and Old Plank Road. The site is within the North Carolina Department of Transportation right of way, is located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares and is approximately 500 feet west of the entrance to the U.S. 311 Bypass. The lot will include 200 to 210 paved parking spaces and an open-sided, covered waiting pavilion. It will eventually tie in with a PART bus route and in the meantime can serve commuters who want to carpool. According to PART, the facility will foster vanpooling, carpooling and serve as a designated stop/pickup location for any future PART Express bus service that will operate along the U.S. 311 Bypass corridor. “We envision that it will be a long-term facility,” said Scott Rhine, a PART representative. Councilman Chris Whitley was the only member to vote against the special use permit request. Councilman Bill Bencini recused himself from the vote. “We don’t have a bus route to that area, so what is the benefit to the city?” Whitley said. “The city has no intention to connect our bus service to it.” PART has awarded a contract for grading, paving and landscaping the lot, and the work should be finished by next spring. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Radiation therapy technician Matt Perrell works with patient Pat Weekly in the linear accelerator.

New technology increases quality of life for patients Before you read...

Second in a four-part series

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – When it comes to modern-day health care, surgeries can be performed with fewer cuts and less-invasive procedures than ever before. Physicians at High Point Regional Health System have an array of robotic machines and genetic testing methods they say can treat cancer patients accurately and precisely in the Charles E. and Pauline Lewis Hayworth Cancer Center. Overall, however, the goal of health care technology is the same as it has always been, according to Dr. Bart Frizzell, an M.D. in the department of radiation and oncology and an assistant professor and medical director in the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. “The ultimate goal is to simply hit the bad stuff and miss the good stuff,” he said. “We just have new, more sophisticated ways of achieving the same goal.” Frizzell refers to a new machine called the Varian linear accelerator 21 IX. Used in radiation therapy, it can more accurately determine a

tumor’s location in the body and deliver radiation to that area. “We can do three things with NEW AGE machine,” he OF MEDICINE this said. “We can accurately target the High Point tumor, we can loRegional cate it in the body Cancer Center each day as organs ■■■ ■■■ shift, and we can more accurately hit the tumor. With each step of technology advancement, we get better and better at this.” The machine, which has capabilities of rotating 360 degrees to get an accurate picture of the body, looks like something out of a science fiction movie. But Frizzell said it has significantly decreased some side-effects patients once experienced from radiation therapy. For example, when patients had a form of throat cancer that required radiation treatment, certain teeth would have to be pulled because the treatment caused severe dry mouth which, in turn, caused tooth decay. But radiation delivered by the machine now dodges the glands that cause dry mouth in most cases. Another machine, known as the Da Vinci Surgical System, allows doctors to remove the prostate from cancer

patients with a small incision and the use of a robot’s hands. “These robots don’t make mistakes like people do,” urologic oncologist Craig Hall said. “They are much more precise.” The robots perform laparoscopic surgery – or minimally invasive surgery – that requires few stitches and less recovery time. Hall said most of his patients can go home the day of their surgery when they were once kept in the hospital for up to three days. He said patients from up to nine different states had come to the hospital for the Da Vinci surgery, which can be used to remove the prostate or repair the kidneys. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Rock block Rocks, after a rockslide, block all lanes of Interstate 40 just east of the state line of North Carolina and Tennessee around mile marker 3 in Haywood County on Sunday. Officials say it could take several months to clear the debris.

The long and winding road N.C.’s roadside history markers generate 600,000 words RALEIGH (AP) – The state’s history office is taking the last steps on a long road toward writing a 600,000-word essay on North Carolina – at about 400 words a clip. Each segment chronicles a stop on the agency’s state’s roadside marker program, which has history at more than 1,500 locations to as little as five lines of text. For nearly 75 years, the signs have been a dollop of history sufficient for most motorists, some who like to spend a leisurely after-

noon driving to search for markers using a state-published directory. But it’s not enough for others in an age of faster cars, distracted drivers and the immediacy of the Internet. “The most common complaint we get is ‘I couldn’t read the sign as I passed by,’ ” said Michael Hill, the research branch supervisor in the Office of Archives and History. “Our tradition from the 1930s has been to have concise, succinct descriptions of what happened

in 3-inch-tall letters.” So as Hill’s office began improving a Web site to identify better the markers, researchers decided to write extended narratives for every marker. Hill had already written essays for 250 of the markers dating back to 1982, leaving more than 1,250 to go. After toiling in history books and file cabinets and behind computers, the researchers’ five-year march through North Carolina history is nearly over. Hill

said the project could be completed this week as the last essays are edited. The essays, now posted on the Web with new photos taken by summer interns, have brought new insight and sifted truth from fiction for pieces of North Carolina history – a gift for generations to come. “I take a lot of pleasure in knowing we’re helping people and school kids,” said Ansley Herring Wegner, a research historian who wrote about 300 of the essays.

City smashes Guinness bead record EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A recordsetting strand of beads has helped the city of East Providence put its recent financial woes behind it, at least for a night. On Friday, the city smashed the Guinness world record for longest strand of beads with a

1,349.9 foot string of red and white beads. The previous record was 355 feet, set in February in the United Kingdom. Patti Streit led the effort by the East Providence Education Foundation. She told The Providence Journal it was a much-needed “fun, positive” moment. The city has been plagued

by budget problems, police and fire layoffs and teacher disputes. Streit said Guinness World Records granted permission to attempt the world record in July. The education group, which raises funds for school programs, immediately began selling the beads used in the strand.

There’s no one on our side in Washington During Barack Obama’s campaign, he dazzled some with “Change.” Some fell for his promises, and made it possible for him to become president of what once was the greatest country in the universe, the United States of America. He pledged to eliminate corruption in government, preside with openness, stop lobbyists from influencing the Senate and House, make it possible for all to have insurance and medical care through a health care system, protect American jobs, on and on. He became the savior. Obama claims to work assiduously to enforce his campaign promises as payback for votes at the expense of all Americans. As I see it, he has not kept his promises to eliminate corruption, to have open meetings; lobbyists have been appointed to his Cabinet, the stimulus package has not protected American jobs or workers, the bailouts have cost taxpayers trillions of dollars, and he is still spending! Obama has appointed approximately 32 czars who answer only to him. I suppose we have no need of Congress. Obama is not listening to us. Congress is not listening to us. Health care will be forced through legislation even though the majority of Americans do not want it. Our health system does need some overhaul, but it is still the best in the world. The Democrats are playing into his hands, and the Republicans are silent while Rome burns. Do we have anyone on our side? It appears not. We must work diligently to stop the monetary bleeding, regain our inalienable rights, and get rid of the corruption, by voting all of them out in 2010 and 2012. It is time to stand up for America, our children, and grandchildren before it is too late, if it is not already. We must not forget in 2010 and 2012, the lives that have been sacrificed for our freedoms. FRAN RAFANOVIC High Point

Boyles would be a dedicated

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending millions on television ads saying that current health care reform includes over $300 billion in new taxes, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says you’re going to pay it. Sounds believable. … Heck, I even almost believed it. But wait – let’s look at the facts. The nonpartisan CBO says the Senate Finance Committee proposed reform will cost $829 billion

mayor of Trinity For 10 years, Carlton Boyles has devoted countless hours as a volunteer working with my fourthgrade students. As the election for the mayor of Trinity approaches, I want to share a few qualities that will make him a strong leader for the Trinity people. • Trustworthiness: People want

---

to know that their leader can be trusted, keeping promises and commitments, not as an option but as a principle from the heart. My students have witnessed this from Boyles consistently. • Servant leader: Boyles has a genuine interest and concern for all people. It is his basic belief that “A government of the people is for the people by the people.” Boyles will establish equal treatment of the laws for all citizens, if elected. • Steadfastness: If elected, Boyles will “stay the course” with the vision, plans and ordinances that have been set in place by the people. Some have the idea that when things get tough, the rules can be changed. Not so with Boyles. Each resident of Trinity has a decision to make soon. Boyles will lead with honesty, fairness, a servant’s heart and steadfastness in carrying out the duties as mayor. I’ve witnessed it firsthand and feel that it is vital that the people of Trinity experience it as well. SHARON R. KEEVER Lexington

U.S. Chamber of Commerce claims are almost convincing

and will bring down costs $80 billion over 10 years. It achieves the goals of covering more people and lowering cost. And it certainly does not create “government control over your health” – another chamber scare tactic. The chamber on this issue, like many of the critics, is … well, let’s face it – disreputable. The chamber is also opposing a consumer financial protection agency, a centerpiece of the president’s financial regulatory reform efforts. What does that tell us about the chamber since we all know the economy almost went over the cliff without effective regulations? Oddly, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is fighting health care reform even though most of their members are small businesses who are struggling to cover their employees and will be able to cover them more easily with reform. Employers have seen their employee health insurance costs increase on average 120 percent over the last 10 years, and nearly 8 million people lost their health care coverage just between the years 2000 and 2007. And think about it! When did the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ever fight for health care reform? Now they disingenuously say, “Let’s have real reform, and let’s have affordable health care,” as if we should believe anything they say about health care reform. GARY PARKER Archdale

Diving into end zone isn’t unsportsmanlike conduct I am a sports fan interested in fair and clean competition played in a sportsmanlike way. I would

be the first person to criticize taunting or any kind of behavior that would be construed as such. Recently, I was watching Friday night football TV reports of Western Guilford playing Southern Alamance. A Western Guilford back dives into the end zone on a short run and is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected from the game. I am told the act of diving into the end zone was what drew the penalty and nothing he said. In another game’s highlights – Trinity vs. High Point Andrews – Trinity’s quarterback breaks a long run and dives into the end zone when he reaches the three yard line. There was no penalty called. One of my points is that this rule should not even exist. We see all sorts of athletes and in all sports dive to execute plays more efficiently. In baseball, we see diving catches and base runners diving into bases. In basketball, we see players dive on the floor to get loose balls or to save the ball from going out of bounds. In swimming, competitors do not run into the pool feet first, they dive into the pool. In football, there is no penalty for diving to catch the football or diving to make a tackle. Why do athletes dive? It is the quickest way to travel a short distance. There is nothing unsportsmanlike about it. What I saw in both of the plays mentioned above was the player seeing the goal line and traveling the last distance the most efficient way he knew how, diving. Why one player was flagged and the other was not, I cannot determine, but someone who has the power of review should try to make that determination. JAMES M. KELLY High Point

One of my points is that this rule should not even exist.

Fame is achievable dream, but at what cost? F or hours, the fear was the boy would be found smashed to jelly somewhere, so my first emotion upon learning 6-year-old Falcon Heene was actually safe in his family’s Fort Collins, Colo., attic, was relief. When authorities said two days later the whole story of a boy trapped in a balloon floating away was an elaborate hoax perpetrated by a family hoping to land a reality TV show, I suppose my second emotion was the anger anyone feels at having their chain yanked. Hard on the heels of relief and anger, though, there comes a certain soul fatigue at the realization we live in an era where some people are so besotted with the need to make themselves famous that something like the alleged Heene hoax no longer surprises in the least. “Everybody is a star.” So wrote the philosopher Sly Stone in 1969. In so saying, he intended no declaration more radical than that each of us is special in her or his own way. Forty years later, when it sometimes seems as if every third person has a publicist and it is

harder to get off camera than on, what Stone said has come to feel frighteningly literal – and prescient. Stardom has undergone a perverse OPINION democratization. Where once it was Leonard the prize awarded Pitts a lucky few who ■■■ earned it through rigorous honing of natural vocal ability, comedic timing, dramatic talent, terpsichorean prowess, it is now regarded as something anyone can have. Journalism, curiously enough, has undergone a similar process. In a development that must grate any reporter still paying off his J-school loans, it has increasingly become the province of so-called “citizen journalists” and “iReporters.” Likewise, natural talent and the honing thereof are increasingly disconnected from stardom. These days, all it takes is the willingness to be rude, crude, lewd – or nude, on camera. All it takes is proximity to scandal, a

bizarre video posted on YouTube, a willingness to live some caricature of one’s real life for public consumption. All it takes is a complete lack of personal borders, self-awareness or ability to be embarrassed. Heck, Levi Johnston has a modeling gig and a TV commercial and all he did was knock up his girlfriend. Paris Hilton has a marketing empire and all she did was have sex on tape. Kim Kardashian has a TV show and a product line, and all she does is exist. If authorities are correct, then, the heinous Heenes are simply avatars of the new zeitgeist. Indeed, it might be argued that in an era where everybody is a star, the only true weirdo is the person content to live his life quietly beyond the reach of cameras. Seen in that light, one can hardly blame the Heenes if they did what authorities say, if Richard and his wife Mayumi – both actors – concocted the balloon stunt as a means of making themselves famous. They once appeared on ABC’s “reality” show, “Wife Swap,” and Richard has been described by at least one associate as obsessed with bizarre

The balloon stunt might have done the trick, except, of course, that Falcon spilled the beans during an interview on CNN, saying to his father, “You guys said that, um, we did this for the show.” Now, ironically, the Heenes have all the fame they can handle, along with, at this writing, an expectation they will be indicted on felony charges. Meantime, the rest of us are left to contemplate that zeitgeist they exemplify, an era wherein many of us look at a lack of personal borders, self-awareness and ability to be embarrassed and call it stardom. An era that makes us all unwilling voyeurs to the emptiness of others’ lives. Used to be, people had more regard for themselves than to sell their dignity for our attention. I guess that balloon is not the only thing floating away.

Violent clashes erupt at Jerusalem holy site JERUSALEM – Israeli police firing stun grenades faced off Sunday against masked Palestinian protesters hurling stones and plastic chairs outside the Holy Land’s most volatile shrine, where past violence has escalated into prolonged conflict.

Afghan president, foe endorse runoff KABUL – President Hamid Karzai and his challenger ruled out a power-sharing deal before Afghanistan’s Nov. 7 runoff, saying the second round of balloting must be held as planned to bolster democracy in this war-ravaged country.

U.N. inspectors visit once-secret Iranian site

Bombs kill 147 in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) – A pair of suicide car bombings Sunday devastated the heart of Iraq’s capital, killing at least 147 people in the country’s deadliest attack in more than two years. The bombs targeted two government buildings and called into question Iraq’s ability to protect its people as U.S. forces withdraw. The bombings show that insurgents still have the ability to launch horrific attacks even as violence has dropped dramatically in Iraq. Many fear such attacks will only increase as Iraq prepares for crucial January elections. The dead included 35 employees at the Ministry of Justice and at least 25 staff members

“Doctor Makes Confession to City of Thomasvilleâ€? Dear friend, I want to give credit where credit is due. So perhaps a confession can help clear the air so there’s no misunderstanding. Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things ďŹ rst. Let’s start with me. That’s me in the picture with my little girl, Kadyn. She’s got a lot more hair now, but I still think it is a cute picture. Eighteen years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giving up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some ďŹ lms, and then “adjustedâ€? my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I ďŹ nally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I ďŹ nish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself. Let’s face it, as a society we are ‘hooked’ on drugs, both the illegal and the legal ones. Most people don’t know that it’s the legal ones that kill many times more people than the illegal ones.

The ‘quick ďŹ x’ mentality (not a true ďŹ x at all) is still common, but the good news is that things are changing. The medical profession and prescription drugs usually only deal with symptoms, and not the cause of sickness. Chiropractors have dealt with a cause for over 100 years now, and have never wavered. And guess what! Now there are more visits to ‘alternative’ health care providers than ‘traditional’ ones. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their migraine headaches. Also they come

to me with their: carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/ arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, tension headaches, numbness in limbs, just to name a few. Here’s what some of our patients had to say: “I’ve improved about 90%. I can sleep all night without pain and can walk without my legs going numb.â€?- (Ray G., Kernersville) “For two years I was having diďŹƒculty holding my head up [due to the] pain in my neck and upper back. Dr. Kris actually listened to

what I had to say about the problems I was having. He worked with me and actually made me feel like a person again without taking prescriptions. I can move my neck better now than I have been able to in years and the pain is almost nonexistent. I’ve also regained the feeling back in my right forearm after being numb for 2 years!â€? (Stephen C – Thomasville) Several times a day patients thank me for helping their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. Did you know that your body is designed to always strive to heal itself? Sometimes, nerve interference gets in the way of that inborn striving towards health. So, I’m not a miracle worker; your body is the real miracle with the ability to heal itself. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a speciďŹ c spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a host of so-called experts out there. They tell people a lot of things about my profession that are just plain ridiculous. But the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that

showed over 90% of patients who saw a chiropractor were satisďŹ ed with their results. Although all people respond dierently to care, that’s just incredible! Forty-eight million Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their beneďŹ ts are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people ďŹ nd that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Peer-reviewed research indicates that the immune system may be enhanced by chiropractic adjustments. Your immune system is the system that helps your body ďŹ ght colds, the u, so maybe you won’t be running o to the doctor as much once you start chiropractic. This is especially important if you are self-employed. And an entire week of care in my oďŹƒce may cost what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. When you bring in this article (by November 6th, 2009) I’ll do my entire new patient exam for $25. That’s with neurologic and orthopedic testing, x-rays .....the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $195 elsewhere! Federal recipients excluded. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL TREATMENT, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND WITHIN 3 DAYS AND RECEIVE A REFUND. My two assistants, Roseanna and Teresa, are really great people. Our oďŹƒce is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our oďŹƒce is called HEALTH ONE CHIROPRACTIC and it is at 13 Cloniger Drive, Thomasville (We are in the Food Lion strip behind Mr. Gatti’s). Our phone number is 476-9600. Call me, Teresa or Roseanna today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you. -Dr. Kris Jonasson P.S. When accompanied by the ďŹ rst, I am also oering the second family member this same examination for only $10.

AP sources: Senate likely to cut employer mandate

AP

WASHINGTON (AP) – Businesses would not be required to provide health insurance under legislation being readied for Senate debate, but large firms would owe penalties if any worker needed government subsidies to buy coverage on their own, according to Democratic officials familiar with talks on the bill. For firms with more than 50 employees, the fee could be as high as $750

multiplied by the total size of the work force if only a few workers needed federal aid, these officials said. That is a more stringent penalty than in a bill that recently cleared the Senate Finance Committee, which said companies should face penalties on a per-employee basis. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the private negotiations.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Winter may be a little warmer this year for students at two High Point-area schools. Jamestown Elementary and Kirkman Park Elementary in High Point are among six schools with recently installed new heating system boilers as part of upgrades funded through the $457 million school construction bonds approved by voters in 2008. The boilers at the six schools were more than 30 years old. Boilers are designed to last between 20 and 25 years. The upgrades are part of the 21 heating and air conditioning projects listed for bond funding. The projects, expected to total approximately $8 million, address improvements to existing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, including boiler and chiller replacements, air conditioning of some areas, control systems and miscellaneous equipment upgrades. About half of the 21 heating and air conditioning projects listed for bond funding have been completed, said Andy LaRowe, district executive director for construction and facilities management. “We are proud of our facilities construction staff and maintenance staff, who have worked together to complete these projects without disrupting schools,” LaRowe said. Construction is under way on several other bond-funded projects, including Jamestown Middle School, where drywall is being installed in several areas throughout the building. Also at Southwest High, athletic fields are being constructed.

Schools promote drug-free lives BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Teachers in Davidson County this week will be telling students that being “drug free is the key.” As part of Red Ribbon Week, teachers at Hasty Elementary School will wear red bracelets, and students will have red ribbons on. Hasty Elementary, as well as Brown Middle School, has planted 100 red tulips in honor of Red Ribbon Week. “Children need to hear the right message,” said Jane Withers, principal of Hasty Elementary. “They are going to hear the wrong message about every corner they turn. We need to do the best we can to put good values in the children. School is the perfect opportunity to do that.”’

’Children need to hear the right message. ... School is the perfect opportunity to do that.’ Jane Withers Principal, Hasty Elementary School Logan Embler and Riley Berrier, members of the student council, spent last Tuesday planting red tulips in honor of “Plant the Promise Week” and “Red Ribbon Week.” According to Withers, planting tulips is a sign of hope. “I think it’s a good way to ex-

press how saying no to drugs isn’t a bad thing to do,” Berrier said. “We are doing this for Red Ribbon Week because it’s helping us to stay drug-free,” Embler added. Withers said each classroom would get a red shovel to commemorate the planting of the tulips. “There is a lot of research about children and growing things, and the connection there is with the plants and caring for the plants,” Withers said. “This is the first time they’ve done this,” Withers said of planting the tulips. “We’ve had banners and posters. We had nice mats at the front of the school that say drug free. This will be a reminder every spring when the children see the tulips. We will come back and revisit what we did.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Parkinson’s disease and had “heart-related issues,” said family attorney William D. Zabel. He described Picower’s health as “poor.” Picower’s body showed no visible injuries, said Joseph Sekula, spokesman for the Palm Beach Fire Department. “There wasn’t anything noted as far as trauma or anything to the body,” he said, adding that “it did appear that he was swimming because he was wearing swimming trunks.” Detectives were still at the home more than six hours after the initial 911 call. The iron gate to his long driveway was open and several Palm Beach police cars were parked

near the mansion. The home and property is worth more than $33 million, according to the county property appraiser’s records. Picower had been accused by jilted investors of being the biggest beneficiary of Madoff’s schemes. In a lawsuit to recover Madoff’s assets, trustee Irving Picard demanded Picower return more than $7 billion in bogus profits. In an e-mailed statement Sunday, Picard said only that “litigation will continue.” Zabel, the Picower family attorney, said in a statement that “there was progress towards a settlement with the trustee.”

Character actor Lou Jacobi dies in NYC at 95 NEW YORK (AP) – Actor Lou Jacobi, who was known for comic roles and won praise in dramatic ones over a long career in the theater and movies, has died. He was 95. The Canadian-born actor died Friday at his home in Manhattan. The death was confirmed by Leonie Nowitz, a social worker who had been overseeing his care. Jacobi made his Broadway debut in 1955 in “The Diary of Anne Frank,”

playing one of the occupants of the Amsterdam attic where the Franks were hiding. He played the same role in the 1959 film version. He was in nine other Broadway plays, including Paddy Chayefsky’s “Tenth Man” in 1959 and Neil Simon’s “Come Blow Your Horn” in 1961. Jacobi was in some two dozen other movies, including the Dudley Moore comedy “Arthur,” Woody Allen’s “Every-

thing You Always Wanted to Know About Sex” and Barry Levinson’s “Avalon.” His last movie was “I.Q.” in 1994. He played the logician Kurt Godel, one of Albert Einstein’s professor friends at Princeton. He also appeared in many TV shows, including “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and “That Girl.” He was a regular on “The Dean Martin Show” on NBC for two seasons in the early 1970s.

Shiloh Pepin laughs with her parents while sitting on a counter in the family’s Kennebunkport, Maine, home. Pepin was born with fused legs, a rare condition often called “mermaid syndrome.”

Girl with ‘mermaid syndrome’ dies at 10 PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Shiloh Pepin, a girl who was born with fused legs, a rare condition often called “mermaid syndrome,” and gained a wide following on the Internet and national television, has died. She was 10. Doctors had predicted she would only survive only for days after her birth at the most, but the girl, described by her mother as “a tough little thing,” died at Maine Medical Center on Friday afternoon, hospital spokesman John Lamb said. She had been hospitalized in critical condition for nearly a week. Being born with “mer-

maid syndrome,” also known as sirenomelia, meant that the Kennebunkport girl had only one partially working kidney, no lower colon or genital organs and legs fused from the waist down. Some children who have survived sirenomelia have had surgery to separate their legs, but Shiloh did not because blood vessels crossing from side to side in her circulatory system would have been severed. She had received two kidney transplants, the last one in 2007. Her story was featured recently on “The Oprah

He was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Medical Center at about 1:30 p.m. Palm Beach police are investigating the death as a drowning, but have not ruled out anything on the cause of death.

Hill says city should revamp ordinances to draw businesses ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – Terry Hill is running for Thomasville mayor. A lifelong resident of the city, he has worked as a human resources training consultant, real estate broker, mortgage loan officer, community college instructor, educational technology specialist, international sales manager and retail manager/owner. He holds a master’s degree in business administration from Gardner-Webb University and a bachelor’s degree in business administration with magna cum laude honors. He has served as president of the Thomasville Board of Realtors for two terms and has been active in the community with the Old North State Boy Scouts of America, High Point/Thomasville Chapter of the American Red Cross and Davidson County United Way.

fees and taxes. Therefore, I am totally against involuntary annexation. 3. What can the city do to help Davidson County cope with high unemployment? Thomasville should be open to allowing new business to our area. The Thomasville City Council needs to rewrite city ordinances and zoning rules to allow businesses to move to Thomasville with easier entry. Plus, our inspection department needs to think out of the box and make rules that will allow our old buildings to have a minimum of updates. Minimum of updates should keep cost down so a business doesn’t have to go bankrupt before opening. After all, these buildings were built under different codes and have been around for years.

RALEIGH – Six environmental activists were arrested Saturday in a display of civil disobedience at the Governor’s Mansion. They were protesting Duke Energy’s controversial plan to build the coal-fired Cliffside power unit in Rutherford County. State Capitol Police charged each of the six with trespass, said Pete MacDowell, one of the event’s organizers. MacDowell identified those arrested as: Dick Paddock of Chapel Hill; Bruce Avram Friedman of Sylva; Jean Larson of Asheville, Keval Kaur Khalsa of Durham; John Allen, a UNC-Chapel Hill student from WinstonSalem, and Jim Warren of Efland. Warren is the executive director of the N.C.

Waste Awareness and Reduction Network and was another organizer of the protest. The six were released on their promise to appear in court Dec. 9. The protesters sought to block construction of

Ragsdale: Jamestown needs regional focus I agree with Bobby Long and Kelly King that we need to promote regionalism. If the Triad region is a crown, then Jamestown is our crown-jewel, centrally located in the heart of the Piedmont. 3. Do you think Jamestown should remain the general size it is now, or should the city seek a larger footprint through voluntary and involuntary annexation? Jamestown needs to be wise about growth, and we need to focus on maintaining our tax base while being fiscally sound. I am not a big fan of annexation.

Dear Sad Mom: Wake up and smell the coffee. Your husband realizes exactly how cruel that comparison is, and has since the first time you expressed how deeply hurtful it was. I see nothing helpful or constructive about comparing your son to a boy who died too young and too soon. If it’s said in front of Adam often, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. (Nothing like the power of suggestion.) So stop feeling victimized and demand that your “wonderful� husband cut it out, because if

Dear Abby: I ADVICE work at a school as an Dear educational Abby assistant. ■■■There are fewer than 100 kids in the entire high school, and I have gotten to know them all. When I go around the small neighborhoods trick-ortreating with my little ones, I see the high school kids in their costumes as well. They are well-behaved and having a good time. Some of the teachers say the kids are too old to be trick-or-treating and they should “get a life.� Well, their “life� is this small town, and I see nothing wrong with them participating in a good time along with the younger ones. They’re not causing trouble. There is very little for them to do outside of school and sports, and Halloween is an opportunity for them to have fun. What’s your opinion? Are high school-age children too old to trickor-treat? – Concerned for the Kids Dear Concerned: I see nothing wrong with the high school kids dressing up and having a good time trick-or-treating on Halloween. The teach-

ers who feel the kids are too old should be less critical. A positive – and age-appropriate – alternative would be for the school to arrange a party or a dance that evening. Considering the fact that it’s a small town and the student body is small, it should be manageable. Dear Abby: My husband and I are Civil War re-enactors. (My husband is a cannon soldier and I am a nurse re-enactor.) We would greatly appreciate it if you would remind your readers that if they come to any of the re-enactments to please not talk to the participants while they are firing weapons in “battle� because it could distract them. Something could go wrong and they could be badly injured. Thank you, Abby. – Civil War Re-Enactor in Elmira, N.Y. Dear Re-Enactor: I’m pleased to pass along your important reminder. It would be a shame if someone became a casualty of a war that ended in 1865.

t was Oct. 17, 1966, in New York City at approximately 9:30 p.m. when the alarm sounded for Engine 18. Manny Fernandez, who was the driver on Engine 18, was eating a late supper when the bells announcing the first alarm sprang to life. Speeding toward 23rd Street and Broadway, the crew of Engine 18 had no idea that the fire department was going to suffer the largest loss of life in its history to that point. When Engine 18 arrived, several other units were already on the scene, and smoke was visible from a building on Broadway. No fire was visible, and crews were having a difficult time finding the fire. The crew of Engine 18 entered a drugstore on the 23rd Street side with only a light haze of smoke. Fernandez stayed with his truck. A short time later, he heard a roar inside the building and knew something had gone wrong. He entered the building, which now had near zero visibility, trying to locate the five crew members of Engine 18 that had entered the building. Suddenly he saw large amounts of flame and was struck by a wave of heat that caused him to turn and run from the building. Unknown to firefighters, there was a large fire in the basement which then caused a huge section

Hydrocephalus is a rare but often correctable form of dementia

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My mother is 86. Up until eight months ago, she was very active and very social. She still drove a car. Since then, she has suffered a big decline. Her memory is bad, and she can’t seem to focus on anything. She gives you a blank stare. Her doctor referred her to a neurologist, who came up with the possible diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus. She’s scheduled for more tests, and the doctor mentioned surgery. Is an 86-year-old up to brain surgery? What is this? – J.A.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Hydrocephalus is water on the brain, something most often associated with infants who have a blockage of cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid circulates through hollows in the brain called ventricles and flows over the brain and spinal cord. It nourishes brain cells and cushions the brain. Adults with normal pressure hydrocephalus, NPH, have too much fluid in their brain ventricles. The fluid expands the ventricles and compresses brain cells. A triad of symptoms and signs results and constitutes NPH. One sign is a walking disturbance. Affected people look like their feet are glued to the ground when they take a step. They have trouble lifting each foot off the ground. When they turn, they do so with a series of small, shuffling steps. The second sign is loss of bladder control – urinary incontinence. And

the third NPH sign is dementia, a deterioration of mental function. Memory loss is one HEALTH aspect. The inability to Dr. Paul concentrate Donohue on a task or ■■■ instructions is another NPH dementia sign. Not all NPH patients have all three signs. An MRI brain scan shows the dilated brain ventricles. Other tests add validity to the diagnosis. Some doctors remove spinal fluid through a lumbar puncture in the back. Drainage of fluid can improve symptoms, but it doesn’t always do so. Your mother, at 86, is up to surgery for NPH. The surgery consists of inserting a thin, plastic tube into the brain ventricles to drain off the fluid to other body sites. That often restores brain function. I have to caution you not to get your hopes up too high. NPH is a rare disorder. However, in some patients, treatment can be most rewarding. Dear Dr. Donohue: Can a 17-year-old have a stroke or heart attack? My son is overweight and has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He tends to think that his age is on his side and he is not really at risk for either. What do you think? – D.D. It’s possible for a 17-yearold to have a stroke or a

heart attack, but either would be a most rare occurrence, even in someone who is overweight and has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Age is on his side – temporarily. The ravages of obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are effecting changes in his body, particularly his arteries, that will shorten his life and eventually lead to either a stroke or diabetes. He has to start working on these problems right now if he doesn’t want to have an obituary written about him at an age when he should still be an active person. Dear Dr. Donohue: Every year I come down with tonsillitis. Every few months, I have to go on antibiotics for it. My doctor wants me to have my tonsils removed. I thought that tonsil removal was a thing of the past and that it never was done for someone my age – 34. What are your recommendations? – P.C. At one time, tonsillectomy was a common childhood operation. Those were the days before antibiotics. Adults can come down with tonsillitis. They do so less frequently than children because adult tonsils have shriveled. If a person has seven bouts of tonsillitis in one year, five episodes in two consecutive years or three attacks in three consecutive years, doctors often recommend tonsil removal.

Ledford High School graduate Natalie Brown is in her second year as one of N.C. State’s mascots.

Natalie Brown’s job as N.C. State’s ‘Ms. Wuf’ is loads of furry fun BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Y

ou’ve heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Natalie Brown is a she in wolf’s clothing. Brown, a 21-year-old senior at North Carolina State University – and a 2006 graduate of Ledford High School – is one of a handful of NCSU students chosen to play the role of the university’s mascot, Ms. Wuf, at sporting events and other functions. “It’s hot under there,” Brown says, alluding to the giant wolf head she wears as Ms. Wuf, “but it’s a lot of fun.” The rest of the costume is not so hot, consisting of tights, a cheerleading uniform and gloves. A former cheerleader at Ledford, Brown tried out for Ms. Wuf during her sophomore year

at State and won the job. “It’s just a matter of putting on the head and practicing gestures and making every movement big,” Brown she explains, probably making her job sound a little more simple than it actually is. As Ms. Wuf (there’s also a Mr. Wuf, by the way), Brown’s biggest responsibility is performing at home football and basketball games, but she also shows up at other N.C. State sporting events from time to time and makes other appearances. Her role is basically to interact and have fun with fans, she says. “We’ve developed a character for Ms. Wuf,” Brown says. “She’s always right, and she always wins a fight with Mr. Wuf. She’s allowed to be the flirt, but if Mr. Wuf is

flirting, he’s always in the wrong – it’s never the fan flirting with him. It’s a lot of fun to have a pair of mascots to interact with. We’re the only public school in the nation with two primary mascots.” In addition to sporting events, Mr. and Ms. Wuf make lots of public appearances, typically for community events. “But you can also have them at your own function, so we go to lots and lots of wedding receptions,” Brown says. She recalls one wedding reception where a little boy had a stuffed animal – “I think it was a rat,” she says – that he kept trying to throw in the mouth of the wolf’s head. “That’s hard because you can’t say anything, but you want him to go away,” Brown says. “Ms. Wuf can’t talk but she can blow kisses, so you resort to that a lot. I feel like you can communicate

with hand gestures pretty well.” Children are an important part of what Brown does as Ms. Wuf, she says, because they naturally gravitate toward mascot characters. “We try to pay attention to the kids and make sure we acknowledge them, so they can get pictures of us,” she says. She even gets to interact with newborns. “I’m always surprised at the mothers who want to get their newborn babies in a picture with me,” Brown says. “New moms are usually very careful about germs and all that, but they’re not at all hesitant to hand their newborns over to me. I don’t mind it, though – it’s always fun to be handed a baby and to think about how many Christmas cards you’re gonna be in.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

What’s the skinny on trans fats? BY MRI DATTA

C

holesterol, total fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat and now trans fat. So, what does it all mean? Higher intake of fats can have a significant effect on your weight and overall health. Long-term use of unhealthy fats (cholesterol, saturated fat and trans fat) can lead to heart problems. Trans fat has been in the news recently and you will hear more about this fat because consuming even small amounts of this fat can cause serious health problems. So, what is trans fat and where does it come from? Some animal foods (butterfat, beef and lamb) naturally contain small amounts of trans fat. However, the majority of trans fats are created by changing liquid oils into a more solid form. This processing improves the shelf life of the fat, making this type of fat very popular among food manufacturers for baking and frying foods.

FOR THE HEALTH OF IT

---

However, the problem is that this processing makes trans fat even more harmful than saturated fat. Consuming trans fat not only raises your LDL (bad cholesterol), but also decreases your HDL (good cholesterol). This increases your risk of developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. So foods such as cakes, pies, cookies, some margarines, salad dressings and other foods cooked with trans fats can add significant amounts of trans fat to your diet. The American Heart Association recommends that intake of trans fat should be less than one percent of your total calorie intake, which means if you eat about 2,000 calories a day, your daily trans fat intake should be less than 2 grams. To give you an idea of how much that is, one bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwich provides 5 grams of trans fat, and just a small order of french fries

provides 3 grams of trans fat. Most fast-food restaurants have nutrition information available that also includes information on the amount of trans fat in their menu items. Educate yourself and find which of your favorite foods contribute trans fat in your diet and then make a healthier choice. Food manufacturers are making an effort to decrease – and if possible, eliminate – trans fat in their products. So, does this mean that a food with no trans fat is healthy for you and can be eaten without health consequences? Not really. You still have to look at the total fat content along with the saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, added sugar, etc. To ensure healthier eating, decrease your intake of processed foods and animal products and consume more fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products. For a personalized eating plan (based on your health concerns and health goals), consult with a registered dietitian.

Randolph Hospital is again bringing QuitSmart, the smoking cessation program, to area residents who wish to gain freedom from cigarettes and tobacco products. The three-part series will be held Nov. 3, 17 and 24 at 6:30 p.m. at Randolph Hospital. During the classes, participants will learn several proven techniques to ease off nicotine, as well as decide if they need medication and ultimately break the habit of smoking. To overcome psychological dependence on cigarettes, QuitSmart teaches positive thinking, decision-firming techniques and hypnosis. Most smokers try to quit cold turkey using willpower alone to stop. To overcome physical withdrawal symptoms, the QuitSmart System has smokers quit “warm chicken.” Nicotine addiction is reduced gradually by switching each week to cigarettes at 40 to 50 percent less nicotine. After two weeks, with much of the nicotine out of the body, the smoker will be able to quit much easier. The classes will be held in the conference room of the Home Health Building located at 341 N. Fayetteville St., Asheboro. The classes are free and funded through a grant from the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation. For more information or to register, call (336) 629-8836 or visit www.randolph hospital.org.

Unlucky Louie is sure the gods of chance are conducting a personal campaign against him. “Nonsense,” I said. “It’s just a matter of probabilities, and they’re impersonal.” “Probability may be impersonal,” Louie growled. “Luck is probability turned personal.” At 3NT, Louie won the first spade, led a club to dummy and returned a heart to his jack, losing to the queen. He won the next spade and took the A-K of hearts. When East threw a spade, Louie tried the king of clubs. West discarded, and Louie got only his eight top tricks.

CONSPIRACY “It’s a conspiracy,” Louie said. “I’m safe if East has the queen of hearts, if hearts break 3-3 or if clubs break 3-2. That’s 90 percent.” Louie shouldn’t have taken it personally. If he plays a low club from both hands at Trick Two, he succeeds if clubs break 3-2 or 4-1 or if the heart finesse wins: about 98 percent. His chances are really even better when West follows to the first club: West might have led a club from J-10-9-8-2.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 6 4 H 7 6 5 2 D 9 6 C A Q 7 5 4. With neither side vulnerable, your partner opens one club, and the next player doubles. What do you say? ANSWER: If your right-hand opponent had passed, you might have responded one heart to look for a major-suit fit. But your opponent’s double suggests length and strength in hearts, and since the auction may be competitive, you should give partner a picture of your hand. Jump to three clubs, preemptive. South dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

‘Paranormal Activity’ slays ‘Saw’ with $22M AT THE BOX OFFICE LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Paranormal Activity” has won a weekend battle of fright films over part six of the “Saw” franchise. Paramount’s upstart chiller “Paranormal Activity” went into nationwide release and took over the No. 1 spot with $22 million. That compares to just $14.8 million for the debut of “Saw VI,” a franchise that has been an annual

Halloween fixture since 2004. It was the worst opening ever for Lionsgate’s “Saw” series, whose previous low was $18.3 million for the original movie. Subsequent installments of the “Saw” franchise all opened at $30 million or better. This time, horror fans simply gravitated toward “Paranormal Activity” instead of “Saw VI.”

Duke, UNC wear ACC tie

T

he ACC basketball season opens Nov. 9 when Florida International visits North Carolina. The sparring matches and jockeying for position, however, already are in full swing. “I think we’re the world’s favorite, honestly, just because we’re North Carolina,” said Tar Heels senior Deon Thompson when asked about the Atlantic Coast Conference’s preseason poll. “Even if they (Duke) do get the No. 1 in the SPORTS preseason, as long as we have Steve the No. 1 at the Hanf end, that’s all ■■■ that matters.” Offered Duke senior Jon Scheyer: “Obviously, we have high expectations, we want to win the conference. Obviously they (UNC) are going to be a great team. It should be a great year.” Both players proved correct. Offering their assessments Sunday at the ACC Operation Basketball media day mere hours before the preseason poll was released, they walked out of the Grandover resort in Greensboro as members of the preseason favorites: Duke, 25 first-place votes, 545 points in all. North Carolina, 20 firsts, 545 points. The decision marked the first tie atop the preseason poll in the 41 years it’s been conducted. The Blue Devils, picked first 12 times, won seven of those league crowns. The Tar Heels have been the favorite 18 times and won 11 championships. Clemson landed a distant third in the poll with 409 points, topping Georgia Tech, Maryland, Wake Forest and Florida State, all of whom were closely bunched in the middle of the pack. In a show of how diverse the media voting was, the Tigers failed to receive any first-place votes, while fourthplace Georgia Tech received two and sixth-place Wake got one. “I think it’s really wide open,” Demon Deacons coach Dino Gaudio said. “I think anybody could win this league, and I don’t think that’s just coach-speak. All of us have lost some important pieces to the puzzle to the league or graduation.” Virginia Tech landed seventh just ahead of Boston College, both teams at the tail end of the muddled pack. Those on the outside looking in included Miami (135 points), Virginia (116) and N.C. State (76). The Wolfpack finished

Complete Operation ACC Basketball voting. 3D 10th last season with a 6-10 mark, ahead of Virginia and Georgia Tech, while the Tar Heels won the regular season on their way to a national championship. Duke captured its 17th ACC Tournament title after finishing tied with Wake for second in the regular-season standings. Junior forward Kyle Singler, who tied Gerald Henderson for Duke’s top scoring honors last year at 16.5 points per game, tallied 19 first-place votes to edge Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez in preseason Player of the Year voting. Vasquez, by a single point, headlined an All-ACC preseason team that also included Clemson senior forward Trevor Booker and Singler in close voting along with Virginia Tech junior guard Malcolm Delaney and UNC sophomore forward Ed Davis. Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors, a 6-foot-10, 246-pound forward from Atlanta, proved an overwhelming choice for preseason Freshman of the Year honors. Will each player picked for preseason glory rise to the challenge and lead his team? Will some fold under the pressure of heightened expectations? Will unknowns emerge and make for compelling storylines now through the ACC Tournament title game in Greensboro on March 14? Yes on all counts, it’s safe to say, considering how many changes took place on the rosters of all 12 league teams. June’s NBA Draft claimed seven ACC stars in the first round and nine overall. “I think it will even be different from when we go through our pre-league schedules to when we get into the league,” Gaudio offered of the ACC title chase. “Because we all have some new pieces to the puzzle, we’ll start to define who we are and develop a team identity prior to ACC play, and then we’ll see subtle tweaks to the teams depending on their personalities.” Subtle, sure. About as subtle as the crowds at the Smith Center (Feb. 10) and Cameron Indoor Stadium (March 6) when the league’s preseason favorites get together. Do we really have to wait until Nov. 9 for this fun season to start? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Hamlin cools off Johnson BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Double-file restarts turned out to be a good thing for Denny Hamlin on Sunday. Hamlin shot in front of Jimmie Johnson each time after two caution periods in the last 17 laps, the last setting up a two-lap overtime dash, to win the NASCAR 501-lapper – an outcome that cooled Hamlin Johnson’s domination at Martinsville Speedway and prevented a repeat of last spring when Johnson moved Hamlin out of the lead with 16 laps to go. The late showdown pitted the two best drivers at the .526-mile track in recent years. The victory was Hamlin’s second in four races here, the only victories by someone other than Johnson over the track’s last seven events. Hamlin moved into contention thanks to pit strategy just past the 180-lap mark and took the lead for good with 139 laps left. “Once we got track position, the car took off,” Hamlin said. “I was able to push a little more and got more out the car. We gained a little bit of lap time and that’s what helped.” Johnson said that Hamlin had a better car this time. “Over the long haul, we probably had the second-best car after the last two or three pit stops,” Johnson said. “We finished where we should

Juan Pablo Montoya gets into his short-track groove. 4D have and I am happy with that.” Hamlin was almost a second ahead when NASCAR brought out the yellow flag for clean up of debris. Workers picked up what appeared to be a small piece of tire that was two lanes out of the groove near the inside wall on the frontstretch. When the green flag waved after that yellow and Scott Speed’s crash on lap 496, Hamlin easily cleared Johnson going into the first turn and pulled away as Johnson turned his attention to protecting second. Juan Pablo Montoya, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon completed the top five. Brian Vickers was 11th, Bobby Labonte 13th and Dave Blaney 40th. Johnson said his best opportunity to make a run at Hamlin came with about 40 laps to go. “He caught the curb in turn two and I got inside of him a little,” Johnson said. “He came to block like in the spring, but I wasn’t far enough inside of him as I was in the spring so I backed out of it.” Johnson settled for increasing his points lead to 118 over eighth-finishing Mark Martin, who four races to go. Gordon is third, down 150. No one else is within 192, three less than can be gained in one race. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

WHO’S NEWS

HIT AND RUN ajor League Baseball umpires have taken heat throughout the postseason. Entire college football officiating crews have been suspended for gaffes in big games. The intense scrutiny on refs has not been lost on John Clougherty, the Atlantic Coast Conference coordinator of men’s basketball officials. “I think a lot of it has to do with technology,” Clougherty admitted of countless TV replays and the unending dissection of film online. Surprisingly, Clougherty dominated a question-and-answer session at Operation ACC in Greensboro on Sunday despite the presence of ACC Commissioner John Swofford and associate commish Karl Hicks beside him at the podium. While the NCAA hasn’t called for any drastic rules changes, a few areas of emphasis could make for some interesting calls this winter. The biggest change could come in regards to

excessive celebrations. No more mugging for the cameras, beating your chest and howling after a big shot. No standing over an opponent you just dunked over and glaring at him. The message Clougherty and Hicks have delivered – in person – to each campus is simple: “Act like you’ve been there before,” Clougherty explained. “Celebrate, but do it with your team and do it in a sporting way. Don’t embarrass your opponent.” Technical fouls will be called on players for excessive celebrations. Flagrant fouls – and an automatic ejection – will be in store for players caught swinging their elbows, a move that has grown commonplace over the past few years. An excessive arc of those pointy weapons after a player corrals a rebound or grabs a loose ball will result in the steep penalty should the elbows make contact with the opponent. The NCAA also is taking steps to clear out defenders from under the basket. An

imaginary space measuring 18 inches by 24 inches, stretching from the backboard to the front of the rim, will be a no-contact zone for defenders. Anyone trying to take a charge in that area will instead have a block called, 100 percent of the time, no matter how stationary the defensive player may be. Toss in added enforcement of three-second calls for offensive players in the lane, and basketball games could turn into whistlefests this season. “We never call three seconds, and that’s the problem. We’ve got to do a better job,” Clougherty admitted. “If we send a message early and get a few of those, the players will understand that we’re going to enforce it.” Ah, enforcement: Therein lies the rub. Let the debates begin on how the new rules won’t be enforced at Carolina, Duke or (insert your least-favorite team here).

The Cleveland Indians hired Manny Acta to be their manager, giving him the job about three months after he was fired by the Washington Nationals. Acta signed a three-year contract with a club option for 2013, Indians spokesman Bart Swain said Sunday. Additional terms were not disclosed. “I am very excited to become part of the Cleveland Indians family,” Acta said. “I look forward to working with this talented group of young men who seem to possess a lot of energy and passion for their work.” The Indians chose Acta after a second interview over former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine and Indians Triple-A manager Torey Lovullo. The team had been expected to interview Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly this week. The 40-yearold Acta, who was drafted by the Astros as a 17-year-old first baseman, also interviewed for Houston’s opening this offseason.

Bills pick their spots, drop Panthers CHARLOTTE (AP) – A quick peek of the box score and you’d think it was impossible the Buffalo Bills won. They were outgained almost 3-to-1, had only nine first downs and had a nearly 10-minute deficit in time of possession. Then you see the stat that decided the game and defined Jake Delhomme’s miserable season with Carolina: turnovers. Delhomme was picked off three more times, and the Panthers committed four turnovers to Buffalo’s none Sunday, allowing for the suddenly surging Bills’ bizarre 20-9 win in Ryan Fitzpatrick’s debut as starting quarterback. Buffalo (3-4) won its second straight despite being outgained 425-167 by getting two more interceptions from Jairus Byrd that set up touchdowns. The Bills recovered Kenny Moore’s fumbled punt late in the fourth quarter and watched John Kasay miss two field goals for Carolina (2-4).

Delhomme’s interception total has reached an NFL-high 13 – with only four touchdowns – and coach John Fox said he’d “evaluate” whether Delhomme keeps his job. Delhomme badly overthrew two passes that led to 14 Buffalo points, and hedged when asked if he should remain the starter ahead of Matt Moore or A.J. Feeley. “In my heart, yeah, but I mean let’s be honest, I don’t think I’m a dummy,” said Delhomme, whose passer rating is 56.5. “When you’re not playing well offensively, you always have to look at the quarterback.” Fitzpatrick was hardly spectacular, but he avoided the big mistakes that have doomed Delhomme. Replacing Trent Edwards following his concussion last week, Fitzpatrick was 11 of 22 for 123 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Byrd, a second-round pick from Oregon, has five interceptions in three games. The second one Sunday, coming after Carolina’s Steve

Smith deflected Delhomme’s overthrown pass, was returned to the Buffalo 27. Fitzpatrick then split two defenders to find Lee Evans for a 2-yard TD and a 14-2 lead early in the fourth quarter. At that point, the Bills were being outgained 333-95. Byrd had an easy interception of a badly overthrown ball in the first quarter and returned it to the Carolina 7. Two plays later, Marshawn Lynch was barely touched on a 7yard run for a 7-0 lead. Carolina got within 17-9 after Delhomme found Smith for 48 yards on fourth down, then DeAngelo Williams scrambled 15 yards for a TD on another fourth down. The Panthers got the ball back with more than 5 minutes left, but Moore – who had replaced the injured Captain Munnerlyn – fumbled the punt return. Derek Fine recovered for Buffalo at the 20, redemption for a Bills team that has lost two games with the help of special teams miscues.

Steelers get defensive, top Vikings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH – LaMarr Woodley returned Brett Favre’s fumble 77 yards for a touchdown and Keyaron Fox ran back an interception 82 yards for another score during the closing minutes, and the Pittsburgh Steelers turned three major defensive stands into a 27-17 victory on Sunday to hand the Minnesota Vikings their first loss. Two goal-line stands helped turned the anticipated quarterback showdown between Favre and Ben Roethlisberger into a defensive duel. And the Super Bowl champion Steelers (5-2) are tough to beat in any game that’s decided by defense. The Vikings (6-1) had a first down inside the Steelers 1 during the third quarter but settled for a field goal.

SAINTS 46, DOLPHINS 34 MIAMI – The unbeaten Saints overcame an early 21-point deficit, mounting touchdown drives of 82, 79 and 60 yards on successive possessions in the second half to overtake the Dolphins. NFL passing leader Drew Brees had his worst day of the season, with three interceptions and five sacks. But he scored twice, the second time on a 2-yard keeper with 8:35 left to give the Saints their first lead. Tracy Porter’s 54-yard interception return sealed the win for the Saints (6-0), off to their best start since 1991. The

ASHEBORO – George Brunnhoelzl III capped off his first NASCAR championship by holding off John Smith at the finish for victory 150lap Southern Modified Tour finale that ended late Saturday night at Caraway Speedway. Smith got under Brunnhoelzl on the final lap and the two dragraced out of Turn 4, with Brunnhoelzl taking the win. Jason Myers followed in third, followed by Frank Fleming and Burt Myers. Brunnhoelzl needed to only start the finale to clinch the championship. He assured himself of that by claiming his sixth Coors Light Pole Award of the season. He went on to claim his fifth win of the season and third at Caraway. He started fifth after the post-qualifying redraw of the top six, and took over the lead on lap 73 when Brian Loftin came down pit road under caution. He briefly lost the lead to Smith at the line on a lap 142 restart, before retaking the point. As a touring series champion, Brunnhoelzl earned a protected starting position in the prestigious NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown to be held on Jan. 29-30 at California’s Toyota Speedway at Irwindale.

Montoya earns short-track respect at Martinsville BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Three seasons ago when Juan Pablo Montoya switched from the non-contact world of Formula One to NASCAR, speculation abounded about how well he would make the transition from racing in the upper-crust world of Monaco to blue-collar places such as Martinsville. From the racing standpoint, Montoya showed he knows how to handle himself in the shove and gouge world of short-track racing on the way to finishing third Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Early in the 501-lapper, Montoya stuck his Chevrolet to the inside of Jeff Gordon and gave the No. 24 a shot and drove past in a battle for position. Later, Montoya moved

Jimmie Johnson out of the way to take the lead just past the 140-lap mark. Johnson didn’t see a need to press the issue so early in the race, allowing Montoya to enjoy a 37-lap stint in the lead. Montoya didn’t find Johnson accommodating trying to make a run at the lead later or when he tried to move inside Johnson for second in two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Montoya said he was trying to make a statement when he forced his way past Gordon. “He’s moved me out of the way before, and he was starting to do the same here today,” Montoya said. “It got to a point, it was like, ‘Hey, I’m here and you aren’t going to push me around. If you give me room, I’ll give you room.’ I told my spotter to tell them that I would give him

space but I hope he does the same. Right at the end, he gave me room and I gave him room.” Montoya had so much fun that he laughed off a comment made by announcer Bob Griese on the telecast of Saturday’s Ohio State-Minnesota game during a promo for the race telecast. When Griese’s partner Chirs Speilman reviewed the top five in points and asked ‘What happened to Juan Pablo in the last race?’ Griese replied that Colombian native Montoya must have “been out eating a taco.” Griese later apologized. “Somebody mentioned it to me,” Montoya said. “I don’t really care, to tell you the truth. I could say I spent the last three hours eating tacos, but I was actually driving a car. But that is OK, I don’t care.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Ragsdale golfers target state-championship glory ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – Ragsdale’s team and three individuals will be shooting for golf glory today and Tuesday when the N.C. High School Athletic Association girls championships take place. The Tigers, who qualified as a team after tying for first at last week’s regional, will play in the 4A championship at Foxfire West. Breana Boyd of High Point Central and Sarah Adams of Southwest Guilford made the 4A field as individuals. East Davidson’s Katie Nance will compete in the 1A/2A/3A championship at Longleaf in Southern

Pines. Both tournaments consist of 36 holes played over two days. Ragsdale, which finished second last year in the smaller classification behind two-time winner Union Pines, competes for the 4A crown with Laura Chang, Lily Crane and Savanna Mackie. Team scores are made up of three individual rounds. That means all three Ragsdale scores will count, while other 4A contenders such as Athens Drive, Grimsley, Ardrey Kell and Myers Park qualified four or five players out of the regional and can afford one or two bad rounds.

Allison Emrey of Charlotte’s Ardrey Kell took medalist honors with a 151 and has qualified to defend her title. Union Pines is the favorite again in the 1A/2A/3A ranks after last year’s win by 19 shots.

S. Korea economy kicks into overdrive

FILE | AP

Trader Paul Maguire works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Topping expectations generally gives share prices a quick lift, but the news can mislead investors about the real state of their business.

Beating the Street is an easy feat CHICAGO (AP) – More than 80 percent of major companies reporting third-quarter results this month have beaten Wall Street expectations. So is business that good? No. Are companies gaming the system? Yes. Corporate America has a habit of low-balling the earnings forecasts used by analysts to determine their estimates. That way, the bar is lower, and companies can easily jump over when the quarter’s results are announced – even if profits and revenues have fallen off a cliff. “Over the last decade, there’s been a distinctive tendency for companies to underpromise and overdeliver,� says Dirk van Dijk, chief equity strategist of Zacks

Investment Research. “Lately companies are being even more cautious. They realize investors can very harshly punish any company that disappoints.� Beating expectations generally gives share prices a quick lift, but the news can mislead investors about the real state of the business – and just how far this economic recovery has to go. In fact, of the companies reporting third-quarter results so far, 60 percent have posted lower net income compared with a year ago. Still, the recession has, if anything, accelerated the flow of positive earnings “surprises� as companies play it safe and issue more conservative earnings forecasts. Over the past two years, 65

percent of earnings reports have beaten estimates. Even after last fall’s financial crisis, the following two quarters produced nearly twice as many beats as misses. And this quarter, 81 percent of the first 199 companies listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500 index that reported earnings came in above expectations. The expectations game works like this. Corporation X announces weeks or months ahead of time that it expects to earn, say, 55 to 60 cents per share. Analysts look at various measures of the company’s financial and operating performance while compiling forecasts, but rely heavily on guidance from management. The resulting con-

sensus forecast might be around 57 cents a share. On earnings day, the company then reports 61 cents per share. It can rightfully say it beat analyst expectations, and shares rise. Other investors jump on the bandwagon. The company has some ability to control the number since analysts and most media focus on the so-called adjusted earnings, which can leave out huge one-time charges such as write-offs for restructuring expenses that otherwise could drag down overall results. The expectations game has been played since the 1990s, when analysts’ aggregate predictions became widely available on the Internet.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – South Korea’s economy grew at its fastest pace in over seven years in the third quarter amid strength in manufacturing and capital spending, the central bank said today, as Asian countries lead the global recovery. Gross domestic product grew 2.9 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 compared with the previous quarter when it expanded 2.6 percent, the Bank of Korea announced. That marked the strongest growth since an expansion of 3.8 percent in the first quarter of 2002, according to bank data. South Korea has been recovering from its worst downturn since the 199798 Asian financial crisis as a weaker currency and government stimulus programs overseas boost exports. Record-low interest rates and government spending at home have also helped stimulate Asia’s fourth-largest economy. The unemployment rate fell in September to a nine-month low of 3.4 percent, consumer and business sentiment have risen and the current account – South Korea’s broadest measure of trade – is firmly back in surplus after a deficit last year for the first time since 1997. Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp., both major exporters, reported record quarterly net profit in the third quarter as sales rose.

Investors prepare for onslaught of data NEW YORK (AP) Investors would like a definitive answer to the question: Is the economy in fact in recovery? The answers this week may not be conclusive, but they might remove some of the uncertainty that has made stock trading choppy lately. Investors will get the Commerce Department’s first report on third-quarter gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy’s health. The week will also bring reports on housing prices

and new home sales, consumer confidence and durable goods orders, a key indicator for the manufacturing industry. And earnings reports, which investors are viewing as economic data these days, will continue to flow in. Results from companies including Kellogg Co., Procter & Gamble Co. and Visa Inc. will provide more insight into consumer spending. Reports from several major energy companies, including ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp.,

as well as insurers Aetna Inc. and MetLife Inc., are also expected. Coming off a rocky week, investors are looking for more evidence that the economy is in recovery. The market’s volatility has increased as investors contend with mixed messages from earnings reports and economic data, and question whether a seven-month surge in stocks has outpaced companies’ earnings potential. After stepping to new highs for the year on

Monday, stocks zigzagged sharply and finished the week slightly lower as optimism about mostly upbeat earnings was offset by disappointment over a housing report, an analyst’s downbeat assessment of Wells Fargo & Co. and cautious outlooks from major railroad companies. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.2 percent for the week, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 0.7 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index slipped 0.1 percent.

Fire prompts evacuations in California WATSONVILLE, Calif. (AP) – California officials say a wildfire in the Santa Cruz Mountains has prompted mandatory evacuations of about 85 homes. CalFire says more than 200 firefighters are working at the fire that started early Sunday. It says the blaze has blackened about 600 acres near an area where a blaze last year destroyed 29 homes and threatened the Mount Madonna retreat center.

Nuclear energy becomes pivotal in climate debate WASHINGTON (AP) – Nuclear energy, once vilified by environmentalists and facing a dim future, has become a pivotal bargaining chip as Senate Democrats hunt for Republican votes to pass climate legislation. The industry’s longstanding campaign to rebrand itself as green is gaining footing as part of the effort to curtail greenhouse gases. Nuclear power still faces daunting challenges, including the fate of highly radioactive reactor waste. Reactors remain a tempting target for terrorists,

requiring ever vigilant security measures. But 104 power reactors in 31 states provide one-fifth of the nation’s electricity. They also are producing 70 percent of essentially carbon-free power and are devoid of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s something the nuclear industry has hammered away at in advertising and in lobbying on Capitol Hill for nearly a
